Additional Information
Statement
Reference
In embryonic brain, initially expressed in the sensory organ precursors of the embryonic CHOs. At stage 13, 3-5 cells in each brain hemisphere initiate expression; this expression transient and is no longer detectable in stage 15 embryos. In larval brain, expression is reinitiated at L3 in a cluster of 25-30 neurons in each brain lobe. Each cluster of neurons sends a bundle of axons ventrally and then contralaterally toward the opposite optic lobes; at the junction between the central brain and the developing lobula, the axons derived from the contralateral cluster branch out of the commissure, into the developing optic lobes. In adult brain, expressed in a dorsal cluster and in two ventral clusters of neurons, which extend into elaborate axonal innervation patterns in the optic lobes, lobula, and medulla.
Expression is observed in the proneural region of the antennal disc, and subsequently in all cells of the coelonconic sense organs.
